International Debutant
Scoring 100s was difficult in 1990s

Before 1998 :

Waugh : 11 tons in 140 matches

Lara : 11 tons in 125 matches

De Silva : 10 tons in 220 matches

Anwar : 14 tons in 140 matches

Jayasuriya : 6 tons in 150 matches


Even Sachin himself scored 12 centuries in 170 innings at the end of 1997.

The legendary Richards himself scored 11 centuries in 167 innings.

The record holder at that time Desmond Haynes scored 17 centuries in 237 innings


In 1998 :

Sachin : 9 tons in 33 innings


That is why Sachin’s 1998 is so special. He was on a different league compared to anyone who played ODI cricket

Like aus pitches and Waugh performed way better in away almost twice better AVG.
